Ok, so instead of $ rsync -av -M --customarg1=value1 -M --customarg2=value2 file1 file2 user@server:some/path I can do $ rsync --rsync-path='rsync --customarg1=value1 --customarg2=value2' -av file1 file2 user@server:some/path which works with and without --protect-args / -s. It also works with versions of rsync prior to 3.1.0 that don't support -M (e.g. Apple Mac). A nice thing about this is that the server side receives the arguments the same, regardless of which method is used at the client. I had hoped there might be something that made the additional arguments as transparent as possible, i.e. so they could be presented the same as other args without special treatment. But thanks for pointing me at --rsync-path. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
